THE DIGITAL NATIVE MEETS  MODERN EXECUTIVE

A Tech-Forward Leader with 20 years of digital + creative experience.

THE SHORT VERSION

THE LONGER VERSION

Why listen to stuff from this guy?

20+ Years of Big Tech

From being a creative at Apple during the Steve Jobs era to leading digital groups for major creative agencies, deep UX + UI work for global brands like BMW, Alibaba, and Magna-Tiles, or even multiple Best-in-Show/Best-of-Digital awarded campaigns for Big Tech Titans like Xerox, I've spent a ton of time working in / around all things digital.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, that extends to the physical world as well. Often times what starts as a digital / online experience quickly translates into a real-world one.

That intersection of the digital + physical worlds of creative marketing have allowed me to help put on some of the largest live events for global tech brands, including both Alibaba + Rakuten's first-ever events in the USA.

While I've spent a lot of the past 20 years leading teams through all aspects of execution, I've also made sure that my skill-set is balanced by a thorough understanding of what it takes to lead more than a team, but rather an organization.

I've held active roles on C-Suite teams for operations, company leadership, change / pandemic management, new business, strategy + vision, you name it, they've wanted me to help spearhead it.

Forever Curious

I was the kid taking apart toys just to see how they worked.

While my curiosity is still strong, I prefer building things to destroying nowadays. And while I think my wife would love if the list stopped growing, my tech hobbies are plentiful:

Twitch Partner / Live Streamer, YouTube + Generative AI Creator, E-Sports League Founder, Podcast Host / Producer, Recording Studio Engineer, Facebook/Snapchat Lens Creator, Augmented Reality Builder, Virtual Tabletop / DnD Gamer, 3D Printer, Video Editor / Animator, UX / UI + Webdev, generally an early adopter (rabbit r1, anyone?)...

I dare you to ask me about any of these. Instant regret.

Ready for the next 20

While I've picked up a lot in my 20 year career, I'm ready to find ways to start giving some of it back.

That's sort of what this is all about. I'm using this platform as a repository for some of my learnings + experiments with Tech as I continue to grow + keep on learning myself.

So please, join me for the ride.

My door is always open, and that seat next to me is never taken.
